Answer:

(b) False

Explanation:

The specific internal energy of the system does not depend on the path of the process, it is a state function means its depend on only on the initial and the final position it does not depend on the path which it follow in the process.Internal energy is associated with the random motion of the molecules.

So it is false statement as internal energy is not a path function

Air at a pressure of 6000 N/m^2 and a temperature of 300C flows with a velocity of 10 m/sec over a flat plate of length 0.5 m. E

White raven [17]

Answer:

$Q=hA(T_{w}-T_{inf})=16.97*0.5(27-300)=-2316.4J$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the expression for the temperature film

$T_{f}=\frac{T_{\inf}+T_{w}}{2}=\frac{300+27}{2}=163.5$

Then, we have to compute the Reynolds number

$Re=\frac{uL}{v}=\frac{10\frac{m}{s}*0.5m}{16.96*10^{-6}\rfac{m^{2}}{s}}=2.94*10^{5}$

Re<5*10^{5}, hence, this case if about a laminar flow.

Then, we compute the Nusselt number

$Nu_{x}=0.332(Re)^{\frac{1}{2}}(Pr)^{\frac{1}{3}}=0.332(2.94*10^{5})^{\frac{1}{2}}(0.699)^{\frac{1}{3}}=159.77$

but we also now that

$Nu_{x}=\frac{h_{x}L}{k}\\h_{x}=\frac{Nu_{x}k}{L}=\frac{159.77*26.56*10^{-3}}{0.5}=8.48\\$

but the average heat transfer coefficient is h=2hx

h=2(8.48)=16.97W/m^{2}K

Finally we have that the heat transfer is

$Q=hA(T_{w}-T_{inf})=16.97*0.5(27-300)=-2316.4J$

In this solution we took values for water properties of

v=16.96*10^{-6}m^{2}s

Pr=0.699

k=26.56*10^{-3}W/mK

A=1*0.5m^{2}

I hope this is useful for you

According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel, horizontal pipe must not exceed 2.0 psi per 25

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

6.37 inch

Explanation:

Thinking process:

We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.

To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:

Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

$\frac{P1}{\rho } + \frac{v_{2} }{2g} +z_{1} = \frac{P2}{\rho } + \frac{v2^{2} }{2g} + z_{2} + f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

thus

$\frac{P1-P2}{\rho } = f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.

Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F

from the tables

Re= 2.01 × 10⁵

Hence, f = 0.018

Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft

This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi

Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513

= <u>6.37 in Ans</u>

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Engineer A results will be more accurate

Explanation:

Analytical method is better than numerical method. Engineer A has used analytical method and therefore his results will be more accurate because he used simplified method. Engineer B has used software to solve the problem related to heat transfer his results will be approximate.

Levart [38]

Answer:

230.51 m

Explanation:

Pb = 695 mmHg

Pt = 675 mmHg

Pb - Pt = 20 mmHg

Calculate dP:

dP = p * g * H = (13600)*(9.81)*(20/1000) = 2668.320 Pa

Calculate Height of building as dP is same for any medium of liquid

dP = p*g*H = 2668.320

H = 2668.32 / (1.18 * 9.81) = 230.51 m
